will someone please translate this novel, please......
I think that this novel is better than DxD in my personal opinion. The reason i think that is because
1.unlike the MC in DxD the MC in this novel actually have some balls, issei likes girls and say that he wants to become a harem king but come on he doesn't even dare lay a finger on then, the MC actually do what he wants and when he wants
2.I like MC who are strong from the very beginning, those typical MC that appears in shounen mangas are just boring; weak at first and then gets strong and then a stronger opponent appears, MC beats the opponent and another stronger opponent appears and the cycle continues until it gets so boring like in DxD
3.this MC is cool while the DxD MC is well just shounen style average

How do you know all of this if you need translations of the novel? Just based off of the first episode of the anime? I do like this one better though for the plot.

there's so many things wrong with this post. For starters, I've read both and I can say with certainty that DxD is better.

1. It's not that Issei doesn't have balls. It's that there are TOO many girls that every girl effectively checks and balances the others. For the few times Issei has the opportunity, he realizes the situation isn't ideal because he would simply be taking advantage of a girl in a weak mindset (Rias in V2, Akeno in V7, Koneko and her sister in V11).

2. Not sure what to say with this. Issei might have been weak in the beginning, but he develops so much that he effectively outclasses his team by volume 6 or so. In some ways, this is just as good as a MC who starts off strong since the reader can relate to the MC. And further, it's not like DBZ where we can't see the limit. We know the strongest characters in DxD, it's just a question of how far Issei develops.

Also, I don't care what anyone says. Issei most proved his worth not when he became the Red Dragon Emperor, but rather in V2 in defeat during Round 1 against that Phoenix Bastard. Very, very few MC have the spirit, will, and determination to fight like that. And if you think about it, he would only lose once more in a casual match in V3 before he goes on an undefeated streak well into V12.

3. Issei is more than cool with his very *cough* unique skills and ways to power up. He's also very likeable with his strong will and amazing work ethic. Unlike Rias or some other naturally born genius, Issei had to grind for every bit of his power. The only other character in the series that deserves the same respect is the equally awesome Sairorg.

Besides, where DxD really dominates the field are the out-of-the-blue power ups and plot twists. Often times, they're so unexpected that it's both genuinely unforeseen and hilarious.

For Hagure Yussha No Aesthetica.

The MC starts off stronger because the story skips through his weak period. There was a point in time where he was weak and hopeless; however, as you're probably aware by now, the story starts AFTER the MC defeated the Maou.

Further, if we're talking about the romance aspect. Issei bonds with his girls more than the MC in Hagure does.

And finally, the fights are all nice and exciting, but plot wise, there aren't that many surprising twists. There is one that na0m mentioned in V4 and V5 (and conversely, those are the two best volumes in the series thus far), but that's about it. The rest has been relatively predictable.

That's because DxD is a truly unique series. When I first saw it (back in June last year), I was really hesitant on picking it up. I took a quick glance on baidu and saw "perverted", "game", and "killed by his girlfriend". I thought that this was rather stupid. But then I saw the Vali and Issei headbutt photo in V4 and decided to give it a try and it's definitely one of the top (top 3 at worst) lightnovels I've ever read. There are other good novels, but none are as unique as DxD.

Hagure is a good novel and probably in my top 10. It's one I follow, but it follows the rough "formula." It just so happens to execute that formula better than a lot of novels out there.

alright i agree with you on those opinions but i still want to say

1.how many chances did issei have in the whole 12 volumes to get laid with a girl, tell me, and in all those times all he did was at most suck their tits. when i read all the translated volumes and see that, that's just sort of annoys me

2.yeah i admit that he got strong through those volumes and that there is something like an end character who is the strongest, but come on the way that he power up is just too *cough* unique. feeling tits -_-
when you say red dragon emperor, do u mean oppai dragon.....

3.yeah issei is likeable but i have to say he is very typical kind of shounen MC besides for his perverted attitudes and *cough* unique skills. The MC in this novel is more unique in my opinion in that he does what he wants without caring for others opinions and also he is also a pervert.

Now my next question to those who will read this comments....
would you rather be call a punk hero or oppai dragon?!
to those who would rather be called oppai dragon...... dude i have some serious respect for you

and just saying this is my personal opinion so jump all you want
and i'm not dissing DxD, i like it a lot, i read it all the time when i'm bored at home, i'm just saying it's not better then Hagure Yuusha No Aeshetica....
personal opinion not a fact

I can understand why there would be more appeal in a more adult/realistic/non-DxDcrazy type light novel for some people. The whole Chichiryutei thing seems a little over-the-top to me, and it annoys the hell out of me that it takes 10 volumes to confess to Rias (the sex thing is because the author isn't allowed to).

And I haven't read any of Hagure Yuusha No Aeshetica, so I don't know which I would like better. So I apologize if I made you mad or offended you.

2. didn't that made you feel refreshed, coz that kind of power-up never happen before

3. Ise : unpopular with normal girl[but super popular with children and certain type of girl], super weak at first[his power not his heart], typical of old MC type[weak at first but keep on getting stronger by time], Oppai maniac for sure[although he say that Oppai is just appetizer].

Akatsuki : modern type MC[strong since first appearance, cool, calm, and smart], he is not pervert he got panties stealing skill coz he live on brothel four year before the story start.

i wouldn't chose both name, since those are exclusive name for Ise and Akatsuki. i would rather get my own hero name

alright first srry about that I'm still new at this
secondly i apologize for making you think that. It was my mistake to put my comment like that. Anybody who gets mad when listening to other people's opinions are just narrow minded people (no offense to people who are though, that just mean you have deep pride in yourself in a sense), i commented like that in the heat of the moment.

And what i have to say in DxD in what i dislike about it the most is that in each volume they give so much hope in sex and all, but in the end it is gone like that. I understand that if it happens once or twice then it just to raise the interest of the reader, but come on almost every volume is like this. it is like starting a fuse for a bomb and then splash water over it, in the first few times it gets exciting and nerve wrecking but doing it every time, even the victim will probably say "are u going to blow us up or not" and get bored of it. Of course I don't demand the sex scene in the novel like in "sword art online" but can't he at least do a, they go to bed and the next morning scene........

okay i think this is going off topic for this forum so lets end it soon.....

if the author include sex scene in the LN, then the LN will definitely got "THE END" for sure.

Actually this trait is pretty normal to every known harem MC or every good MC.

And I think DxD isn't that unique. Though I like the art of the novel for it but story wise, character development wise or plot wise (though like the idea of turning that ageless dragon into loli dragon) . Not that unique. Its just good for me.

Their is not translation for Hagure so I can't say but the episode 1 prove that he is badass MC and his already strong so he got confidence on his skill. He reminds me a LOT of Rakan. I wonder if his as broken as him.

Story wise and setting wise. Setting for a hero that return from other world after becoming a hero is unique for me. I haven't encounter this type yet where one the story starts after the great struggle because usually the story starts when one gets summoned and not when you get back. But perverted hero wise good but average for me.

Spoiler for Open only if you want to be spoiled......Dont blame me if you get spoiled too much for it:

Ousawa Akatsuki is the protagonist of the series. In the World he was sent to, he actually stayed there for 5 years over there(Though when he comes back to his actual World no time passed).

He was sent to the other World called Alesaide.
Miraculously he was dropped down in the bathtub of Sylpheed Kingdom. The princess of the Sylpheed Kingdom, Resti El Da Sylpheed, and she was taking a bath and Akatsuki ended up falling down on her. Because of this meeting, the two characters had a love-hate relationship.

After a while Akatsuki started hanging out and get trained by the Yuusha of the Kingdom, Leon. Leon is Resti's lover and fiance and was born from a ordinary house. But his father and sister was killed by Mazoku, hence he wanted to become strong and kill Mazoku. Akatsuki asked Leon to teach him how to fight and wanted to know why he is so strong. One day Akatsuki followed Leon to see the secret behind Leon's strength. When Akatsuki saw Leon using a teleport to go to a different place, Akatsuki followed him. But what Akatsuki saw was a 'massacre'. Leon was killing all the Mazoku who were defenseless. He even killed woman and children Mazoku. Akatsuki tried to stop Leon but instead was hit by Leon and became unconscious. When he woke up, Leon smiled at Akatsuki as if nothing was wrong. So when they returned to the Kingdom, Akatsuki informed his other allies/friends, Zechs and Luti. They all tried to convince Leon, but Leon still continued to kill innocent Mazoku.

To stop Leon, the Maou(King of Mazoku) decided to attack Sylpheed and kill off Leon. The Sylpheed was attacked and was in chaos and even the Royal family was killed excluding Resti. It is told that Maou killed them but in fact Leon hired assassins to kill them because the King wasn't that eager to continue fighting against the Mazoku. He even tried to kill Resti but Resti managed to survive because she was worried about Akatsuki, the man she is in love with.
The Maou finally confronted Leon. But Leon took a Mazoku child as a hostage. The child was Maou's daughter, Mew(Heroine). Akatsuki came to the scene as well. Akatsuki thought that there is only one way to fix this and that was to kill Leon. So Akatsuki killed Leon. The Maou thanked him, but Akatsuki promised that one day he will kill the Maou because right now he is too weak. After Maou left, Resti came and saw Akatsuki and Leon's corpse. Resti was devastiated by the scene and told that she wished if Akatsuki never came to their World. Resti said that because she didn't want Akatsuki to die. Akatsuki then left the country of Sylpheed. It was told to the World that Maou killed Leon. The only one who knows that it was actually Akatsuki killed Leon is Zechs, Rute and Maou. But because Akatsuki left the Kingdom when the Kingdom fell, he was hated by the people living in the Kingdom.

Akatsuki then went to a place (forgot the name) and became insanely strong. He returned to the Kingdom after few years so they can defeat Maou. He teamed up with Leon's old companions, Zechs, Lute and Resti. Eventually Akatsuki was called a Yuusha. But because he abandoned the Kingdom before and people still loves Leon(Only Akatsuki, Zechs, and Lute knows the truth), they gave him a bad name Hagure Yuusha, which translates to the Strayed Hero. Anyway in the final battle, Akatsuki decided to fight the Maou alone. He had a one on one battle with the Maou and won. Before dying, the Maou trusted his daughter Mew to Akatsuki's hand.

Akatsuki has a motive that he must accomplish in the world he originally came from, so he decided to take Mew with him. But since she is Maou's daughter, he had to hide her. Also there is a gate which connects the two World and only those who came from Akatsuki's world can use it. Also there is a 5 year limit for staying in this World and Akatsuki has almost reached that limit. So he decided to go back and used a 'special' ability so he can take Mew with him. Then the story move onto the volume 1 of LN.

Actually this trait is pretty normal to every known harem MC or every good MC.

And I think DxD isn't that unique. Though I like the art of the novel for it but story wise, character development wise or plot wise (though like the idea of turning that ageless dragon into loli dragon) . Not that unique. Its just good for me.

But perverted hero wise good but average for me.

Not really. Are there good harem MC's who fight and stand up for their loved ones? Sure. But very few actually sacrifice that much for the heroine. That or the MC is already too powerful to begin with, so the reader can't see how the MC would react in a desperate situation. Having looked over my light novel library, I would probably only say that there is one only other MC that has guts on par with Issei and several that are respectable.

I'm not really sure. Part of the reason why DxD attracted a wave of people was because of it's unique ways of powering up. There has not been a single series I've read since or before that is the same. You may argue that the progression of the greater story is relatively normal; however, the specific plot progression and crucial events in each volume is truly unique. Dress Breaker, Bilingual, Tits God, Powering Up by Poking, Powering Up because of Extreme Lusts, Random Summons, Ruining the reputation of the Red Dragon Emperor. All of those (or similar events)... are not things you find in any other series.

Well, if you want a badass MC, you're in the right place. However, if you're talking "generic" plot, Hagure would be more of the same. More so than DxD, it follows the formula with a rough ending in sight. The reason I happen to really like Hagure is because it executes the formula better than a lot of other series.
